Question

The equation of line k is y = -6/7 x + 10. Line m is perpendicular to line k and passes through (-3, -5). What is the equation of line m?

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers

Answer 1

Convert -6/7 to 7/6 because they have to multiply together to equal -1.

Plug the -3 into x and the -5 into y

-5=7/6(-3)+b
(y=mx+b format)

-5=-3.5+b

Add 3.5 to both sides.

-1.5=b

Now add to the equation we had at the top to get your answer.

y=7/6x-1.5
